I love this piece .. and I love saxophones ... and I think I just died and went to heaven because this was absolutely awesome .. I just wish I could be this good one day ... though I don't really have time or ability on my side :)
Me: runs to piano and plays along My non-musical mom: ...i love you so much, youre so talented My non-musical dad: ...sounds great honey Me: cringes and starts to cry inside every time i make a mistake
When all the four instrumentalists simultaneously play it gives the effect of playing duplication of same copy of melody on both upper and lower octave with addition of two more notes in between on foot-pumped harmonium or melody on right hand manual with straddla bass system on left hand manual simultaneously on accordion. But when the individual performers separately play the voices of each type of saxophone are clearly understandable.
The theme at about 2:05 is a bit too bouncy and jumpy for me Overall, my main gripe with this arrangement is the disjointedness present by virtue of the necessity of breathing.
